Fearsome and instantly recognizable, the rattlesnake is one of America's most famous snakes. Its most famous feature is the bell at the end of its tail, which it shakes to warn of danger. This sound signal can resonate dozens of times per second, scaring off predators or warning off intruders.
The venomous rattlesnake uses its hollow fangs to inject venom when hunting. It feeds primarily on small rodents, thus playing an important role in population regulation. Surprisingly, its bell is made up of hollow segments that are added with each molt, but which do not allow its exact age to be determined.
This Papo figurine faithfully recreates the appearance of a rattlesnake: detailed scales, triangular head, and raised tail ready to vibrate. A must-have model to complete a collection of wild animals, invent exciting stories, or introduce children to the fascinating world of reptiles.
